Repairing three giveaway rockets (part 6)

All three ready to bring to tomorrow’s launch. The paint job on the blue and white one is a little sketchy but it’ll look fine from the flight line. I did a very quick and dirty swing test and I think a D in the 24 mm motor mount is too heavy; then again, a D is too much impulse for this thing, at least for a kids’ giveaway rocket. Put an 18 mm B or C in an adaptor and I think it’ll be fine. The blue and yellow SRC decals on the blue fin can of one rocket and orange body tube of another are, respectively, barely visible and apparently black and clear, amusingly enough.
